Lost in a blizzard.

LaMonrc Chronicle, 1lth: Again are
we compelled to chronicle the deadly
work of the storm fend. The victim
this time is Charles Cotterman, worthy
young man about 25 years of age, Q
brother of, Mr.. William Cotterman, OF
and tavorably known in this locality
The details Of this sad affair, SO far as
We have been able to secure them, are
as follows:
Charles Ootterman, whose homestead
was the sonthweat quarter OF section z.
13l-59. couple of miles west Of OaHes,
had been scjourninR with Klaus Merkins
for short time on the northeast quarter
of l3-l31. 60; but few days before the
great storm of Saturday, the 10Th nit, he
decided to again take up his residence
on his own claim. He completed his re-
moval, but on the fatal Saturday went
over to his friends for some bread and
few trifing articles he had there
Returning, he set ont for his claim about
sundown, the distance being not far
from half mile. His failure to reach
his placs was not mistrusted until Sun
day last, when Merkins went over to see
him. 1t was apparent that Mr.. Cotter.
mans stock had been unattended for
some time, and the reason was. immedl.
ately suspected. Monday word was sent
to William Uotterman, who hastened to
Oakes on the train which happened to
be going down that afternoon, and on
Tuesday, with party Of men, started
ont to look for his brothers remains
The search was successful, for the poor
fellow wss found lying on his back, with
one hand above the snow; in arayine
about so rods from Merkins' house, bu.
in nearly an opposite direction from
which he had started out, showing that
he must have wandered greatly before
giving up.
